Recipe Tips
For the most eye-catching results, choose contrasting Jello colors with good visibility against the white cake. Dark colors like cherry, grape, and berry blue create the most dramatic effect. Also, letting the Jello cool slightly before pouring (about 5 minutes) helps prevent it from soaking into the cake too much while still ensuring it fills the holes.
